Maverick Flook and Lau frontmen, Brian Finnegan and Aidan O’Rourke, join forces with ace young guitarist Ian Stephenson and master Manchester drummer Jim Goodwin to travel a daring and innovative new musical path. Both Brian and Aidan are held in the highest regard as composers, and here they bring their new compositions and traditional tunes to life with scintillating style. These four have an alchemy that is wonderfully hypnotic, the perfect balance between grace and power, sunlight and shade – a uniquely thrilling union.
